A student in Marysville on Tuesday was asked to remove his red, white and blue T-shirt -- which caused quite the debate on social media. But his principal said the incident was just a misunderstanding followed by an overreaction.

The principal says wearing clothing with red or blue is banned because they are known gang colors in the area.
